There's a greater chance of Ian Paisley appearing on the Late Late wrapped in an Irish tricolour and singing "The Men Behind The Wire"...Sure there could be no harm in predicting Saturday evening

[quote=Defeated Romanticist]HBAP there is not going to be a GE any time soon so all these polls meen squat[/quote:a10ufm0n]A late December poll would be meaningless - you'd have to do the fieldwork just before Christmas, and no-one would be interested in taking the time to respond. Likewise, even among those who did, politics would be the furthest thing from their minds - so "don't know" answers to everything would be so high as to make the whole thing meaningless.
(But on this thread in general - PREDICTING opinion polls??? Come on, lads - seriously. Life's too short)
No, they don't mean "squat". They track movements in public opinion. They're not designed to predict results of elections four years in advance, but they are designed to gain a snapshot of public opinion at any given time, and to track movements in public opinion over a period.
"Elite - a small superior group; esp one that has a power out of proportion to its size." (Oxford English Dictionary)
The majority cannot therefore be the elite.
Comrades, predicting the outcome of newspaper opinion polls some four years out from a general election is probably the only thing more pointless than the poll itself.
Predicting the outcome of a poll?!?! Yer all losers! Get girlfriends for gods sake! :P
Agreed these threads such be banned not given home page status.

I'd say there is a genuine chance that FG will be level or possibly even ahead of FF.
If it occurs it will be accompanied by predictable and sneering dismissals but privately will cause turmoil in FF that they are in a tailspin that due to pending economic gloom they have absolutely no way out (i.e. cannot do the age old FF trick of buying their way out of trouble).
Anyone who thinks FFers in particular wont be mustard keen to see this poll know very little about political reality.
May as well stick my money where my mouth is...
FF - 34
FG - 30
Labour - 10
SF - 6
Greens - 12
PDs - 3
Independants - 5
A poster of some consequence...
Actually I think that the one thing it'll be useful for is calibrating MRBI and RedC. Polls very close together with (I guess at this stage) no momentous events in between.
